Track Lufthansa plane flights (and your friends) via Twitter
Dan Thornton | October 13, 2009I remember suggesting something along these lines a while back to a friend – so it’s great to see you can now track commercial flights via Twitter and Facebook social networks.
Lufthansa has launched MySkyStatus which automatically posts the current position of your flight to Twitter or Facebook. Aside from the vicarious thrill of following people on their travels, it has a definite practical application if flights are delayed, for example. And that could mean potentially skipping waiting times of several hours, particularly in winter when clearing snow can definitely affect timetables.
Updates are posted around once an hour, which could mean 20+ tweets on a long-haul flight.
Updates simply state that someone ‘ is flying over xxxx,xxxx in Geramny on Lufthansa’
